Fights Break Sphere: Rock King's Leisurely Journey into the Mortal World

Chapter 31 Dual Cultivation?

“Huang…” Xiao Yan’s smiling face suddenly froze as if struck by frost. His voice was filled with disbelief: “Low-level Huang?!”

Zhongli still had a faint smile on his face. He slowly closed his eyes, took a sip of tea, and nodded slightly: "Yes, it is the low level of the yellow rank."

Yao Chen frowned slightly upon hearing this, and then continued, "Guest, please don't joke about this. A low-level Yellow Rank technique will ruin this child's future, won't it?"

At the beginning, Yao Chen wanted to pass the Burning Art to Xiao Yan. His original intention was to hope that Xiao Yan could use this technique to absorb the two kinds of strange fire, and then combine it with his own Bone Spirit Cold Fire to help him refine his body and regain his physical body.

However, now that Zhongli's Strange Fire was in hand, he only needed one more Strange Fire to regain his body. Furthermore, he was already beginning to find a third Strange Fire. Thus, the Strange Fire problem had been initially resolved.

Yao Chen pondered silently in his mind, "It seems that in order to allow Xiao Yan to devour the strange fire more smoothly, I have to use my low-level local technique. If Xiao Yan practices this technique, he will be able to improve his strength in a short period of time without having to take the risk of searching for more strange fire like he did with the Burning Technique."

Yao Chen then said resolutely, "Guest Zhongli, I happen to have a low-level earth-level technique here—the Flame Wave Burning Earth Technique. What do you think of it, Mr. Zhongli?"

Then, Yao Chen gently waved his hand, and as the ring in Xiao Yan's hand flashed, a suspended red scroll suddenly appeared in Yao Chen's hand, surrounded by a ball of rich fiery red flames.

"Of course, but Mr. Yao Chen, please first listen to me talk about the Eternal Thunder Art that I passed on to Xiao Yan."

Zhongli slowly took the Eternal Thunder Art from Xiao Yan's hand, which he was carefully examining, and said, "The uniqueness of my technique is that it can open up a second soul vein in the practitioner's body, creating a second route for the circulation of Dou Qi. This means that after Xiao Yan reaches the Dou Zhe realm through practicing this technique, he can still practice another technique. It won't be too late to practice Mr. Yao Chen's Flame Wave Burning Earth Technique at that time."

"Practicing dual cultivation without exploding and dying." Yao Chen slowly stroked his beard, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and said, "This is truly unheard of. Please explain it in detail, guest."

Zhongli, clutching the Eternal Thunder Art, slowly turned and gazed into the distance, his expression once again becoming solemn. An invisible aura quietly emanated from him, silently spreading in a certain direction.

"This so-called 'Eternal Thunder Art' is an extremely mysterious technique. It continuously absorbs strange thunder to promote the continuous evolution of the technique. This technique was created by an ancient sage, and I just got it by chance in an ancient ruin."

As Zhongli spoke, he gently placed the manual on the celestial stars surrounding him. He then refilled two cups of tea, channeling his divine power and steadily placed one cup in front of Xiao Yan.

"Strange Thunder?" Xiao Yan was attracted by this novel word. He subconsciously picked up the teacup and poured the tea into his mouth. "Oh my god! Oh my god! It's so hot!!"

On the other hand, Zhongli was calm and blew the tea in his hand gently, saying slowly: "You need to be calm and steady when doing things, and don't be impatient."

After saying this, Zhongli drank the tea in one gulp. He knew full well that he was about to give Xiao Yan a very informative lesson.

…………

"Wow, I see! It turns out that this world not only has a list of strange fires, but also a list of strange thunders!" Xiao Yan hurriedly and attentively picked up the teapot and filled it with tea for Zhongli again.

Yao Chen listened from the side, his face brimming with interest, nodding his head from time to time. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he slowly began, "In the past, I was shortsighted. Mr. Zhongli's advice today has brought back memories. I once heard my parents mention a long, long time ago, when the Thunder Clan leader, Lei Ying, and the Flame Clan leader, Yan Jin, battled. During that battle, Lei Ying unleashed a grayish-white lightning no one had ever seen, severely damaging Yan Jin, who possessed the Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Flame. So, the Thunder Clan leader must have used a strange kind of lightning!"

"So the Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Fire, ranked seventh on the Strange Fire List, is actually in the hands of the Yan Clan?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

"Indeed, the Yan Clan is powerful and avidly collects exotic fires. It's said that after the Yan Clan leader was defeated by the Thunder Clan leader in that great battle, he returned to the clan to devote himself to the study of exotic fires. After all, the sixth-ranked Eight Desolate Destruction Flame already belonged to the Yan Clan, and the top five exotic fires were extremely rare, so seeking even stronger exotic fires was clearly a futile endeavor. So, after returning to the clan, Yan Jin began studying the art of exotic fire fusion. Unexpectedly, he used his immense strength to forcibly fuse two different exotic fires, creating a new type of fused exotic fire, said to be as powerful as the fourth-ranked Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame."

"What? Forced fusion of strange fire? Then which two strange fires did he use to fuse them?"

"Nine Netherworld Golden Ancestral Fire and the seventeenth-ranked Volcanic Stone Flame."

"Oh? Then why doesn't he just fuse the Nine Netherworld Golden Ancestral Fire with his own Eight Desolations Destruction Flame? Even when fused with the Volcanic Stone Flame, it can rival the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame. If it's fused with the Eight Desolations Destruction Flame, wouldn't it be able to easily crush the Golden Emperor's Burning Heaven Flame?"

Yao Chen then rewarded Xiao Yan with a head blast.

"Do you think fusing different fires is that easy? The Yan Clan leader reached the middle stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm a hundred years ago, so he dared to choose the volcanic stone flame, which ranked significantly lower than the Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Fire, for fusion. If he had chosen the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame, which is one level higher than the Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Fire, to fuse these two extremely powerful different fires, even someone with Yan Jin's powerful fire control would probably not dare to attempt it lightly."

Zhongli's mind was lingering with a question: "Is there any strange thunder among the Thunder Clan?" This thought lingered in his mind.

After studying Lei Dianzhen's notes in depth, he discovered that Lei Dianzhen's divine power and the divine power of Lei Dian in his body produced a wonderful resonance, and the two echoed each other.

Even more surprising is that he also inherited memories and abilities that Raiden Zhen had not mentioned in his notes, the most prominent of which was the ability to sense unusual lightning.

This ability allowed him to keenly perceive the presence of every strange lightning bolt on the Dou Qi Continent. However, according to Lei Dianzhen's memories, the disasters brought to people during her time were devastating. Therefore, in a fit of rage, she sealed the twenty-three strange lightning bolts into separate dimensions. This also explains why, for nearly a thousand years, only a handful of the eight ancient clans still remembered strange lightning bolts, a destructive natural treasure comparable to strange fire.

Zhongli carefully sensed the alien thunderbolts sealed in the independent space. He discovered that, with the exception of the 22nd-ranked Burning Sky Feather Thunderbolt and the 12th-ranked Eclipse Sun Thunderbolt, which had already been devoured, the rest of the alien thunderbolts were in a state of emerging intelligence but without a master.
